Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Pets, Professors, and Politicians
"The story of the Atlantic Veterinary College goes back to the early 1970s, when veterinary staffing forecasts called for more veterinarians, and more capacity to train them. But how to address that need - and, more importantly, where - turned into nearly two decades of wrangling, controversy, and negotiations among federal and provincial politicians, government officials, and academics. Finally, on June 3, 1983, the deal to build the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island was signed." "With a cast of colourful characters featuring the Hon. Eugene Whelan, federal minister of Agriculture, and several Atlantic premiers, including PEI's Alex Campbell and Jim Lee, Nova Scotia's John Buchanan, and New Brunswick's Richard Hatfield, Pets, Professors, and Politicians tells the story of the AVC, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Full of stories and photos of people - and, of course, animals - this modern-day David and Goliath story is sure to inform, and entertain."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
